Topiary Trees

Topiary Trees the art of pruning and shaping woody plants into defined forms, has a long history. You can make simple shapes such as balls, blocks and pyramids, or complex, multilayered forms such as a triple crown (three blobs trained as if suspended on a main vertical stem) or the cloud pruning of larger trees. A pair of topiarised spheres look great flanking the steps of a doorway, while a series of freeform blobs or box balls at either side of a path can be at once both formal and relaxed. https://www.plantsandtreesonline.co.uk/
